Róbert Wessman
Róbert Wessman is an ambitious Icelandic entrepreneur known for his aggressive business strategies and remarkable success in the pharmaceutical industry. He transformed Actavis, a debt-ridden Reykjavik SME, into the world's fifth-largest generic drug manufacturer in just eight years, earning him the nickname 'the Viking boss' from The Economist. Having since founded multiple companies, including Alvotech, Wessman has ventured into the French wine industry, purchasing the historic Château de Saint-Cernin and launching his own brand, Maison Wessman. His bold investments and innovative initiatives, such as a restaurant collaboration with chef Thierry Marx and a unique wine collection, have drawn attention in a traditionally conservative market.
